Not sure if this has been a long week for anyone else, but it’s been a challenging week here for me. So, this Fun Friday cartoon is exactly what I needed to start the weekend.

I should pair this cartoon with the growth in the number of management in healthcare vs doctors over time, but I expect that most of you have seen the chart I’m talking about. Healthcare management positions have exploded in proportion to doctors, nurses, etc. I guess that’s what makes this cartoon even more ironic.

It’s Friday, so time for a little humor to start your weekend. First up is one that regular readers of this site will appreciate when it comes to the now tainted phrase: meaningful use:

I’m battling through the CES conference this week, so it’s a bit crazy around here. Plus, you know that Friday we like to have a little fun. I found these two healthcare cartoons that I thought would be a fun Friday post.

Of course, this is only funny until you’re in that position. It’s a crazy world we live in. Have a great weekend!

As you know, we often like to share a little bit of healthcare humor on Fridays as part of our series of Fun Friday blog posts. This week we share the funniest doctor on the planet (since that’s such a high bar), ZDoggMD and his alter ego Doc Vader. In his latest video, Doc Vader goes Rogue and illustrates the challenge of physician burnout.

If you’re not familiar with Doc Vader, there are a lot more Doc Vader videos on ZDoggMD’s channel. It seemed appropriate to share this video with Star Wars Rogue One hitting theaters. Happy Friday everyone!

It’s Friday and so you know we like to have a little fun on Friday. This week it comes from the slightly funnier than placebo ZDoggMD. Best known for his humorous medical raps, he’s recently launched what he calls the ZVLogg and a number of other humorous and educational (sometimes) video parodies. Just imagine an SNL for doctors. That’s basically it. Here’s his latest example which is hilarious (and sad) if you’re a doctor and slightly less hilarious if you’re a hospital administrator. Enjoy!

It’s Friday and I came across this cartoon which is funny and sad at the same time (the best kind of humor). However, I think it reflects the major challenge and a lot of the discontent many feel towards health care today.

I recently asked some people where all this physician discontent is going to lead. They didn’t have a good answer and I don’t either.

Since it’s Friday, I thought this graphic was worth sharing as well:

Thanks to all the hundreds of thousands of doctors who work hard every day and don’t mail it in because it’s Friday, a weekend, late at night, etc etc. You’re true heroes.
